This streamlined, straightforward casebook offers a fresh perspective on employment discrimination law, presenting a procedural-based approach (lacking in other texts) with interactive materials. While still providing traditional coverage, Employment Discrimination: Procedure, Principles, and Practice, Second Edition emphasizes the importance of procedural issues in workplace cases. It includes a unique best practices chapter, which discusses the most effective ways to address workplace discrimination from both a theoretical and legal perspective. Numerous exercises and problems foster classroom discussion. Practice tips situate students in the role of a practicing lawyer. Modern, cutting-edge cases demonstrate the importance of employment discrimination law. Text boxes within cases, historical notes, and news events effectively help bring the material to life.

New to the Second Edition:

• A renewed focus on sexual harassment and a robust discussion of the #metoo movement
• An examination of sexual orientation and a review of the conflicting federal appellate cases on whether it is protected by anti-discrimination laws
• A new focus on appearance discrimination and the recent case law related to this issue
• A discussion of how issues evolving in the gig economy can impact workplace discrimination

Professors and students will benefit from:

• Focus on procedure (with theoretical underpinnings) to stimulate practical learning
• Comprehensive coverage, encompassing topics traditionally included in the course (statutory, regulatory, and administrative issues), but with a timely procedural focus integrated throughout
• Recent, topical cases which bring the issues to life for students and allow them to see how procedural issues are demonstrated in the employment discrimination context
• A unique chapter on best practices, which examines the proper training and complaint procedures that employers should have in place; explores policies and procedures for responding to employee reference requests; looks at emerging trends in the workplace, such as social media policies; and covers employee bullying
• Interactive features (discussion problems, practice/procedural tips, class exercises, notes and questions, graphs/charts, etc.), to foster class discussion and student engagement
• Chapter-in-review sections that further student comprehension
